Hi, I'm Roberto! 🦥

I work at the intersection of sustainability and Machine Learning, with a focus on surrogate modeling for complex energy systems.

Currently, I am a Marie Curie PhD candidate at EPFL and Idiap, exploring how Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) can learn to simulate large thermal grids.

I'm also one of the founders and life-long fan of Hydra Dodgeball Viareggio.
